I co-authored a paper in an IEEE journal a few years ago.  As part of the submission, the IEEE requested a short biography.  I described my education as earning a BA in 1974, an MA in 1977 and a Ph.D in 1979.  When the paper appeared in the journal, they listed me as an IEEE Member in 1974, a Senior Member in 1977 and a Fellow in 1979.  Oops.  I guess that's one way to advance through the IEEE grades !!!

That would be interesting, but I doubt they'd ever release that data.

Even with all the problems with the IEEE, it's still the best resource for State of the Art in electronics and semiconductor devices IMO. The technology papers in the journals and at various conferences are a glimpse 10~15 years into the future.

We've published a few papers (most of our advanced work could not be published), the most prestigious in the IEEE was an Invited paper appearing in the "Proceedings of the IEEE" 15 August 2005, "Smart Phased Array SoCs: A Novel Application for Advanced SiGe HBT BiCMOS Technology".

This paper created a lot of interest in our company which was acquired the next year, so the IEEE was very helpful in this case.

Also agree it's expensive, since my company paid the subscription when I was employed being a member was a no-brainer. Now I've retired I decided to keep the membership and pay out of pocket since I'll qualify for a Life Membership next year ::) Think this means the IEEE knows I won't be member much longer :o

Best,

What is the point to publish a paper and have access to it locked , restricted to one single group in IEEE. The problem with IEEE is access to the materials, and by the way, the quality of materials is not always good.

I am, but in the same position as you. Only member. I've also been thinking about "upping" my membership.
You could try and contact your local chapter for references.

No need. Turns out I already knew three personally, just had no idea they were IEEE senior members. There also seems to be no way to search the IEEE member database to check that status of someone?

Ok, cool.
No, I don't think there is - that's why I suggested contacting your chapter, as they should have been able to give you such a list. But if you already know 3 personally, you'll save a lot of time.
With these 3 and your background, your access to the Senior status should be pretty straightforward.
